Real Mystery Man Steps U pWith $2,500,000 and Saves Greece From Italy BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS MODERN Count of Monte Cristo, Europ of mystery, has saved Greece once more. Putting his hand into his pocket nonchalantly, the new Croesus donated a paltry $2,500,000 to the Greek gov- ernment, so Greece may now pay Italy in order to get the Italians out of Corfu. The same man, during the Balkan wars, used to make Greece periodical gifts of 500,000 to help her meet expenses, Why? That's the mysteries. 's man of Sir Basil Zaharoff is the man’s name now. He has had others. His life has been one long adventure. Some call him the world’s richest man. He probably is not, but the most competent authorities put him fourth, after Henry Ford, John D. Rockefeller and the duke of Westminster. He virtually controls the great.Brit- ish armament house of Vickers; he is a director of Barclay’s, one of Britain's richest banks; he is either a director or biggest depositor in several large continental banks, and half owner of Monte Carlo, the world’s most famous gambling place. Buys Corpse Which Is Palmed Off as His Yet he seems to have emerged out of nowhere, a Levantine, child of a Russian father of Greek origin, with- out money and without friends, He is 78 years old, a Beau Brummel, a linguist; but he earned his first money as a day laborer. Now and then he would disappear from sight, to bob up again in the most unexpected places. At the age of 28 he was in Cyprus, the year the British took over the is'and. He was carrying British citi- zenship papers in the name of Z. Z. Williamson. PO eeoceccsesoccaceece “TWO oe Next he appeared in then in Athens, Greece. prison there, and the made his get-away by tities with a dead man. One day a Greek was executed by a firing squad. Zaharoff bought the corpse and arranged for a simulated dash for liberty. He escaped, but offi- cially the bullet-ridden corpse left be- hind became Zaharoff, “shot while try- ing to escape On the Inside of Many International Secrets / Zaharoff landed in Paris with less than a dollar in his pocket. He later worked a y laborer for Krupps, the gr rT munitions maker. After this he red as president of a Latin republic under another name, and from that job he went to selling machine-guns for Vickers In Spain, Russia and in other coun- tries, he landed mammoth contracts. He: was on the “‘inside,” too, on the Paris Bourse and “cleaned up” there. He dabbled in oil and. got richer: still. Everything he touched turned to gold until, like the Count of Monte Cristo, whose escape from prison he had imi- tated, the “world was his,” or such of it as he wanted. Oxford University conferred on him the degree of Doctor of Civil Law. The Constantinople, He landed in story goes he swapping iden- British government made him a Knight ° of the Order of the Bath and again of the Order of the British Empire. France lifted him high in the Order of the Legion of Honor. Zaharoff is known intimately in every chancellery in Europe. Kings and princes, prime ministers, dicta- tors, and university presidents are all on his visiting list. He probably knows more of the secret, “inside stuff” of Europe than any private individual living. i. Yet whence he came, whither bound and why, nobody knows.
